The black-eyed Susan, a species of coneflower, grows wild in dry areas throughout the United States and is widely cultivated for its colorful flowers. The plant has stiff, hairy leaves and tough stems. Its blossoms are composite flowers, the central disk and radiating petals themselves made of clusters of tiny, separate flowers.
